Wolf Hounds

“Those that men call Werewolves or Lycanthropes call themselves the Hounds of God, as they claim their transformation is a gift from their creator, and they repay the gift with their tenacity, for they will pursue an evildoer to the very gates of Hell.”
– Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

Wolf Hounds is a historical fantasy roleplaying game about the Benandanti, a society of werewolves dedicated to protecting their communities from supernatural threats. Uses a lightweight Apocalypse system based on John Harper's World of Dungeons: Turbo. You will need a game master, some players, writing materials, and a few six-sided dice.

• Create characters including shapeshifting Hounds, mystical Seers, and intrepid humans.
• Uncover supernatural mysteries, and hunt those that would prey upon the innocent.
• A streamlined Apocalypse system emphasizes fast dice rolls, teamwork, and player agency.
• Details for players and GMs on the Benandanti, their world, and their adversaries.
• Contains an introductory adventure set in medieval Lithuania.
• Easier to learn than that other werewolf RPG!
